Not sure how you got 33 ins MP without turbo boost.  Nominal ambient
pressure at sea level is 29.92 ins.  You need turbo boost to achieve
something higher.

As the other New Zealand 914 user that Bill refers to I add a little advice
that may help.

You state you are only seeing 34 ins, that is what you get when the TCU is
not working.  How do I know, I took off the other day with the TCU switched
off and noted that I only pulled about 33 in manifold but was still getting
full rpm, 5780 in my case.

This makes sense and though I do not suggest taking off with the TCU
switched off it can be tried and would be a good pointer to see if your TCU
is working.  That is apart from the usual checks to see if the servo is
cycling.

Cheers Peter
